RIVALS MERGERS & FAILURES: RAILROADS IN THE 1970S

The entire video features the following topics... The “Road” from 1955 to 1978 covering the electric, diesels and some steam. This is a nostalgic and technical look at electric, mountain railroading. See GE box-cabs, Joes, and Bi-polars in many great locations. Go inside substations and yards. Watch how the sturdy mountain-men of the “Road” dealt with poor funding and ancient, fading equipment to keep the trains running – a “Yeoman’s effort” to say the least. See and hear the start-up of the motor-generators at the Avery sub-station. The experience and the sounds and sights have been described as “raising the hairs on the back of your neck”. Passenger and freight operations are covered. We review the rival GN, NP lines and “almost” merger partner, the Rock Island. https://amzn.to/3BHvI0C Visit the Daylight Sales Store https://amzn.to/3NmjfBR Southern Pacific SP Daylight 4449 Authentic Railroad T-Shirt [4449] https://amzn.to/4gYgNPL Southern Pacific, Vol. 1: Daylight, Train 98-99 Hardcover – January by Richard K.
